Small things that makes us bigger

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a great time this holidays and I also hope that all your dreams become true.
In this post I just want to show you a small view about what I did and made in this period so first I made presents and one of it is this drawing with a cute girl and her ferret and this shall represent my best friend and her ferret Besky, I hope she will enjoy it

Then I went to my parent hometown for Christmas and I can say I had a great time near my family, I haven't seen them for a long time. Our journey made me think again that we have a wonderful country and I have still to discover it so I will plan in the future a trip that covers all the interesting places in Romania, which deserve to be discovered.

Then we came back to my boyfriend parents in Maramures (worth to visit that's for sure) and had a great time in the yard with my precious dogs Hera and Lili

Receiving a wonderful gift from my father, a necklace with a pendant that says "Daddy's little girl". Isn't this adorable? I just love it

And swapping with the help of Revista Atelierul, this are the things that I've sent it to my swap partner Roxana, a brooch which I knew that she will enjoy it a Christmas card and a bookmark everything under The Art of Murmu license. She made the pictures and she enjoyed it very much. (Hope she didn't lie :P)

How about you? which were the small things from this holidays that made you bigger?

Swap, paws and cats

As you can see I dedicate less time for the posts on my blog but I don't want to neglect it so I will try to post the most important things that I've done/create.

One of the things is this drawing made with watercolors on A4 paper and it was a gift for a wonderful lady. She loved it, like she said :)

Then I've participate to Revista Atelierul swap and I've received a great gift from my special Santa, Roxana, you can see her beautifully jewellery here: http://www.facebook.com/UnaSiUna

Arabela from http://www.arabelastefania.blogspot.ro/ made a nice swap also and I couldn't resist to participate also because I just love swaps and this is what I receive. Thanks Arabela

And finally I made something that I've wished for a long time ago, a tattoo with the paw print of my precious dog Hera. I am so so excited about it, now she will be with me forever. Of course I didn't neglected Lili, and for the future it will be her paw on the another arm :)

Both of my works are actually presents for two beautiful friends of mine, one is a wooded box painted in acrylics and the other is a small draw in black ink.

Giving and receiving is fun

 

Hi everyone, long time no see, and my excuse is my final master thesis and some vet  practice. Meanwhile one of my favorite fruits, the tasty cherry came up on the grocery stores, unfortunately on a high price but I couldn't resist to taste some new Romanian cherry's. The result=delicious.

After the cherry surprise the mailman mad me another surprise, a cute package directly from Bucharest from sweet Melissa (Chic Melon) with a pair of polka dots slippers, a cute bag with a bow print and a shabby agenda. Thank you my dear Melissa.

But as I receive this from my friend is my turn to give something to another friend, and it will be a drawing and something in the small bag, but let's not ruing the surprise. shall we?;)

What have I done lately

 

Lately I wasn't so productive but still I got a little time to make something creative like "The girl from Paris" drawing and painted a simple clock which I bought it from Ikea.

The first drawing I think you already know it from older posts but I just wanted to show you how nice it look in frame. The frame I bought it from Ikea also with almost 1,50 euros. Pretty cheap right?

Next I've painted my clock which was all white in pretty dots. Short and sweet! The hardest part is to waith the paint to dry;)

Then I made a drawing for a friend of mine that wished for a long time to have a french flavor drawing. The theme I found it by Internet, I've used black ink and acrylics on A4 paper.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Kiss, Murmu

Day 19+20: Hidden cat drawing and a Spring card

 

Everything in this days will be in the hurry because I am a little bit of busy with my own work but in some breaks I will try to do something creative, like for example, today I did this sneaky cat who is lurking for some mouse or who know, maybe after you;))
The drawing is in black ink and acrylics on white paper!

Meanwhile this days were really great outside in Brno, the weather is sunny, the birds are singing and the air is more clean and more soft so I think the spring is knocking to our doors! This is just perfect! And for luring the spring I did this card. I think it's just great for receiving the colourfully , beautifully spring:)

Day 17+18: Moustache brooch and photo collage

I’ve prepared a cute brooch on light pink colour with ice blue hearts and black lace. The brooch is made from ceramic and it can’t wait to fit on some pretty lady dress,/blouse/shirt:)

How about you?Do you like this new fancy ” accessory: The moustache?

In another day I did a photo collage with me and Hera for my boyfriend as a gift! I hope he will lake it. It’s quite easy to do it, use a colour board, a photo that u want to have it, some lace, and some cute printed paper, I’ve used it with dots (i am crazy about dots) and there you go!:)

Day 16: Umbrella set

 

Hei everyone! as you can see I am behind with posting but I will keep out the good work, I hope:) The excuse is that I had friends of mine coming to visit me, from Prague so, not so much time for creating but meanwhile I did this accessories set ( a brooch and a pair of earrings). The set is made from white light ceramic painted with acrylics and the brooch had lace also.:)

So be prepared for the rainy spring days with this set

Day 14: Fat felt tom cat

Lady’s and gentleman I present you Furry the fat felt tom cat! Despite the fact that he is fat his “life”is actually happy. Look at him how he smile:) All that he is doing is to lie down, watch throw the window how it’s snowing and eat sweets! Crazy life right?
Ohh and he can also climb on you and to transform in to a cute brooch! He is just super! My fat felt tom cat, Furry!:)

Day 13: Fox love Card

Don't get me wrong I didn't do this card for Valentine's Day, it just happened to do it near this day:) I don;t celebrate Valentine's Day because like you know it's not a tradition for us, we have our love day on 24 February and then Romanian people shall  celebrate "Love day":)
I found this cute image on the Internet and I thought that is way to cute not to do a drawing with this 2 lovers:) So I did...a card!
